Adulthood often means repeatedly trying to “reset” — a new exercise routine, a healthier diet, a return to reading or learning something new — only to watch old patterns creep back in. This webinar explains why that happens, using cognitive neuroscience to unpack the brain’s two competing systems for driving behavior: one effortful and deliberate, the other automatic and habit-driven. I will show how understanding this wiring lets you deliberately engineer the habits you want and dismantle the ones you don’t, so that a “reset” actually lasts rather than fading out after a few weeks. Attendees will leave with a concrete framework they can apply to any area of life they’re trying to rebuild or relearn.
Learning Objectives:
- Understand the two brain systems behind behavior — deliberate and habitual — and why a “reset” that relies on motivation alone tends to fail
- Learn how to design an effective entry-point cue that makes a routine automatic rather than a daily decision
- Discover why avoidance and willpower have limits when breaking old patterns, and how to build a genuine replacement habit that supports lasting, lifelong change
